Assume the wavepacket spreads uniformy to zero:<br />

(lim t=∞ ||Ψ|| ∞ =0 ),<br />

then at infinite time the nonlinear contribution H NL to the<br />

energy is zero since<br />

and the norm ||Ψ|| 2 is time constant. Then<br />

energy cannot be<br />

conserved and consequently the wave packet cannot<br />

spread uniformly to zero.<br />

Since the higher order nonlinear energy grows faster<br />

than the norm the wavepacket cannot spread uniformly<br />

to zero when its amplitude is large enough<br />
